  Littering has environmental impact, and looks bad. Carts being put back by the company or the customer doesn’t hurt the environment. If it looks bad the company creates a job to ensure the customer keeps coming.

    You can’t reason with these cart extremists because the only thing they actually care about is their car not being dented by a cart.

      Yeah but like I said elsewhere in this thread I have been to grocery stores (5 Krogers a Publix, and a Food Lion) 80 times in the past couple weeks working instacart at nights to pay off some bills I didn’t want to pile up. No carts have been seen by me moving around, everyone puts them in the cart returns that take up many of the parking spaces. Seems like a lot of made up concern. Not to mention the force it would take to dent/scratch a car by a cart. I’ve watched multiple cops over the years push cars when they have broken down in the road, the paint/bumbers are a lot more sturdy than many think. Aftermarket paint jobs might be an issue if they are cheap paint if you are pushing the car, but a shopping cart would need to be going fast to do anything real.

        I’ve had numerous discussions with cartbrains and that’s where it always ends up. 🚘🛒💨

    The cart carrier’s job will still be there regardless. I take my cart to the stall, they take it to the store, and nobody has to deal with loose carts. My social responsibility is not impacting anyone’s job in this case.

      Yarp, that agrees with everything I said and what most people do.
